Dictionary of Command Line Options
The rest of this chapter describes all command line options in alphabetical order. The description of each command provides:
Summary
A brief description of the option, to allow you to determine quickly whether it relates to your needs.
Platforms
The platforms on which the option is available. Most are available on all platforms.
Syntax
The syntax to use when specifying the option on the command line. In command line syntax summaries, brackets [] indicate optional elements, braces {} group elements, a vertical bar | separates alternatives, and an ellipsis... indicates zero or more repetitions of the preceding element.
Equivalent Environment Variable
You can also specify many options using environment variables (or VMS logicals). An environment variable automatically applies each time you start G2, obviating the need to specify a command line option.
Description
A detailed description of the option and its effects.
Special Considerations
When needed, additional information to keep in mind when using the option.
Example
One or more applications of the option in a typical command line.
